Doctor Brown, the star of last year's Edinburgh Festival, brings his highly rated and confusingly titled 'Befrdfgth' to London's Soho Theatre. Mime acts may have been all the rage at Edinburgh but the silent creation from American Phil Burgers trumped the lot of them, picking up the Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Award and leaving behind a wake of raucously amused festival-goers. London audiences can expect plenty of absurd visual humour and hysterical clowning about from the "part mime artist, part lord of misrule" (The Guardian). If you think mime is something of a tired genre, then this is the show that will change your mind forever.

The Soho Theatre Company was formed in 1969 by Verity Bargate and Fred Proud, but it didn't have a permanent home until 2000, when its current Dean Street location opened. This modern space was the first theatre to be built with National Lottery money. More about Soho Theatre
